An ethical dilemma is a situation that is very difficult to resolve
because no course of action will be a perfect solution. In such
situations, critically analyzing and thinking about all applicable

tools to work out a strategy for dealing with an ethical dilemma,
and you will evaluate the usefulness of those guidelines and
tools.
